lookslikeitmightbeplastic.Rutit'sactuallywood—anditcouldeventuallybeusedtomake

energy-efficientwindowsorevensee-throughbuildings.（馬里蘭大學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)室的一片透明的新

材料看起來像是塑料。但它實(shí)際上是木頭——它最終可能被用來制造節(jié)能窗戶，甚至是

透明建筑。戶可知，新材料可以被用來制造節(jié)能窗戶，說明用它做的窗戶是節(jié)能的。故

選B項(xiàng)。

【詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的"Researchershaveexperimentedwithtransparentwoodinthe

past,butthenewmethodismoresustainable.Othermethodsusuallysoakthewoodina

chemicalcompoundcalledsodiumchlorite（亞路酸鈉）ioremovelignin,partofthewoodthat

givesitstructure.Butthiscanweakenthewood,anditproduceswastethatishardtorecycle.

（研究人員過去曾用透明木材做過實(shí)驗(yàn)，但新方法更具可持續(xù)性。其他方法通常是將木材

浸泡在一種叫亞氯酸鈉的化合物中，以去除木質(zhì)素，木質(zhì)素是賦予木材結(jié)構(gòu)的一部分。

但這會削弱木材，產(chǎn)生難以回收的廢物。廠可知，以前的方法會產(chǎn)生難以回收的廢物，

造成污染，而新方法更具可持續(xù)性、更環(huán)保。故選D項(xiàng)。

【詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段中的"Andscientistsrecentlydiscoveredatechniquetogrowwoodin

alab,openingupthepossibilityofusingwoodwithouthavingtochopdownaforest.（科學(xué)家

們最近發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里種植木材的技術(shù)，這為在不砍伐森林的情況下使用木材開

辟了可能性。）”可知，在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里種植木材使停止破壞森林進(jìn)行建筑成為可能。故選B

項(xiàng)。

【詳解】

推理判斷題。由最后一段中的“AnewspinoffcompanycalledInventWoodisworkingto

commercializethetechnology.（一家名為InventWood的新公司正在致力于使這項(xiàng)技術(shù)商'也

化。）’‘可知，InventWood正在使新型透明木材技術(shù)商業(yè)化，說明InventWood正在推廣

答案：D

【答案解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了世界上一些令人驚嘆的書店和圖書館，它們讓閱讀成為一

種真正的藝術(shù)體驗(yàn)。

【詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“ElAteneoGrandSplendid”部分第三句"Thecharacteroftheoriginal

architectureremainswhiletheredtheatercurtainsstillhangatstageleftandright.”（原有的建

筑風(fēng)格保留了下來，而紅色的劇院幕布仍然懸掛在舞臺的左右兩側(cè)。）可知，除了買書，

你還可以在ElAteneoGrandSplendid欣賞到原始的建筑。故選B。

【詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“LiyuanLibrary”部分前兩句“InavillageoutsideofBeijing.China,a

smalllibraryhidesamongstthetreesinaquietsetting.TheLiyuanLibraryiswrappedin

recycledbranches.”（在中國北京郊外的一個(gè)村莊里，有一個(gè)隱蔽在樹林中的小圖書館。梨

園圖書館是用回收的樹枝包裝的。）可知，梨園圖書館非常接近自然。所以選項(xiàng)C正確。

且據(jù)此可知，梨園圖書館的設(shè)計(jì)并不是傳統(tǒng)的，所以選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)“LiyuanLibrary”

部分最后一句"Perhapsthemostimpressivethingistheopendesignthatallowsinlightfrom

nearbyeverydirection."（也許最令人印象深刻的是開放的設(shè)計(jì)，允許光從附近的每個(gè)方向

的進(jìn)入。）可知，圖書館內(nèi)的光線很亮，所以選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)。根據(jù)“LiyuanLibraiy”部分第三句

“Indoors,threelevelsofbooksandreadingspacesareavailablefortheoccasionalguests.''（在

室內(nèi)，三層的書籍和閱讀空間為偶爾的客人提供。）可知，圖書館內(nèi)偶爾才有客人，所以

選項(xiàng)D錯(cuò)。故選C。

【詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“A47MobileLibrary”部分第一句和第二句"Whywillyougotothe

librarywhenitcancometoyou?TheA47MobileLibraryisalibraryonwheelsthattravels

aroundMexicoCitybringingbookstothepublic."（當(dāng)它可以來找你的時(shí)候,你為什么要去

圖書館呢？A47移動圖書館是一個(gè)帶輪子的圖書館，它在墨西哥城四處巡游，將書籍帶

給公眾。）可知，即使在你呆在家里的時(shí)候也可以進(jìn)入A47移動圖書館。故選D。
